What special advantages — ones that most other people can't claim — were already in place for you by the time you were born? Were you born with favorable genes that gave you an edge later in life? Were you born into a rich or well-connected family, or into a community with exceptional resources and opportunities?

What if someone interviewed you over a period of thousands of hours, asking you every question you could imagine and many you couldn't? Through the course of the interview process, you would gain a keen understanding of yourself. You would end up with a comprehensive portrait of not only your surface thoughts, but also your deeper inner wisdom and insights. You would learn your whole story.

With a question a day, this blog is your interviewer.

We'll ask one new question here every day. Whether you're already on a journey of self-inquiry and transformation, or just starting, or simply want to begin a journal about yourself and your thoughts, your own answers to these questions will help you write the story of you.

There are ten thousand questions, and any one of them could turn your life in a new direction.
